A smart and innovative look at the possible futures of a young Chinese immigrant in Buenos Aires, told in the stilted language of an elementary Spanish language textbook. Official Selection at the **Venice Film Festival**. Winner of Best First Feature and nominated for the Golden Leopard - Filmmakers of the Present at the **Locarno International Film Festival**. *"There is gentle comedy here, and a real rooting interest deriving from Ms. Zhang's committed, never-a-false-note performance. The film's unusual perspective makes it a distinctive and potentially enriching experience." - Glenn Kenny, **The New York Times***

A man employed on a massive cargo ship requests shore leave to visit his sickly mother, who lives in a remote logging town in Tierra del Fuego. He depends on booze and the unkindness of strangers to make the grueling journey southward, hinting at unspeakable tragedies beneath the surface.

He ain´t gonna make it (No va llegar) is a road-movie starring Argentinian songwriter Tomi Lebrero. With two mares and a colt that he tames along the way, Tomi throws himself into an adventure across the Argentinian pampas against all odds (even his mother's concerns and her attempts to discourage him into dropping this trip to nowhere over the phone, in her own words, a “Space Odissey”), just as musicians Atahualpa Yupanqui and Jorge Cafrune did before.
